STATEMENT ON INSPECTION FOR 

 TRUENESS TO NAME 



Amherst, Mass. 

 Aug. 7, 1945 

 To Whom It May Concern : — 



This is to state that all the saleable peach 

 trees growing in the nursery of Bountiful Ridge 

 Nurseries have been examined for trueness to 

 name and to the best of our knowledge and 

 belief these trees are true to name as they now 

 stand in the row. 



While it is impossible to positively identify all 

 peach varieties, it is possible to eliminate a 

 high percentage of mixture where found. 

 Signed, 



O. C. Roberts, 

 L, Southwick, 



Profs, in Pomology 



THE PEACH TREE SUPPLY 



Reliable reports from Nurserymen and personal 

 observations indicate the shortest supply of peach 

 trees available to the planter we have known in 

 many years. Seedling stock for budding, shortage 

 of skilled Nursery laborers and unnatural weather 

 conditions have combined to cut National peach 

 tree production to about 30% normal. 



Our supply at Bountiful Ridge is about the same 

 as last year or 35% normal. This is the third 

 year of general tree shortage and not much chance 

 of improvement before 1947. Every planter can 

 realize what this means. Large commercial plant- 

 ings have been and will continue to be curtailed. 

 You should take the best of care of your existing 

 trees. You should watch closely variety trends. 

 You should plan carefully your future plantings. 

 We, at Bountiful Ridge, are keeping alert and as- 

 sure you of our earnest cooperation to make your 

 plantings a success.
